# Zooming in: Packet structure of certificates
Now that we've established the concepts and components that make up OpenPGP certificates , let's look at the internal details of an example certificate.

## A very minimal OpenPGP certificate

This next section shows the remaining fields of this signature packet, which relate to the cryptographic digital signature:
- `digest_prefix: 0x6747`: the left 16 bits of the signed hash value
- `digest_prefix: 0x6747`: the left 16 bits of the signed hash digest
- `salt_len, salt`: a random [salt value](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-10.html#name-advantages-of-salted-signat) with size [matching the hash algorithm](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-10.html#hash-algorithms-registry))
- `ed25519_sig`: [algorithm-specific](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-10.html#name-algorithm-specific-fields-for-ed2) representation of the signature (here: 64 bytes of Ed25519 signature)
The signature's hash is calculated from the following data:
The hash digest is calculated from the following data (see [Computing Signatures](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-11.html#name-computing-signatures) in the RFC):
- the signature's salt
- the serialized primary key's public data
- the serialized direct key signature packet (excluding the unhashed area)
Refer to [Computing Signatures](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-11.html#name-computing-signatures) in the RFC for more details.
The signature is derived from this hash digest.
